On Friday 27th May, the Maths department welcomed Dr Jamie Frost to St Andrews.

Dr Frost, previously a PhD student at Oxford University and founder of Dr Frost Maths, is currently on a tour of South-East Asian schools. His website, https://www.drfrostmaths.com/, reached new levels of engagement during the pandemic resulting in Dr Frost being awarded the Covid Hero Award at the Global Teacher Prize Awards Ceremony, in special recognition of "someone who has gone above and beyond to keep young people learning during the COVID-19 pandemic".

Dr Frost was very excited to meet our students and was able to give an assembly to Year 9 during their Wellbeing lesson. He explored career routes, shared his daily use of mathematics and gave some advice to our students going forward in both their studies and future careers.

In addition, Dr Frost taught an exclusive lesson to one of our Year 8 classes. During this lesson, they studied robot routes in order to explore the concept of probability.

The excitement was reciprocated by our students with Dr Frost signing a significant number of calculators; it was great to see so many students excited to meet the creator of the website they use so frequently. 

In the afternoon, St Andrews welcomed Maths teachers from other International Schools in Bangkok and Pattaya and Bangkok, when we were able to share our experiences using the platform so that going forward we continue to utilise it to its maximum potential. Additionally, Dr Frost shared the new upgrade ‘Dr Frost 5.0’ that our students will experience next year.
